My Interests

"Life begins when a person first realizes how soon it ends."
-- Marcelene Cox.

There are simply too many things to list that I enjoy. I would imagine gaining the respect I deserve would be foremost in my interests. Martial arts is something I rigorously practice and strive to perfect on a daily basis. Otherwise, I spend most of my days writing, reading, and creating new ideas while the old ones get revamped. Much like this myspace has over the course of the years.

I'd like to meet:

Those who bear an artistic cross. If you have read through my blogs and like what you've seen, please feel free to submit a friend request so you can sport me on your site as a friend. After all that is why we are here. Thanks. :)

Music:

"A real leader faces the music, even when he doesn't like the tune."
-- Anon

Books:

"You can't tell a book by it's movie."
-- Louis A Safian
Books are a novelty few can appreciate. I may not have alot of time to read ... But when I do, I enjoy diving totally into a book's contents.

The Devil in the White City
Magic
Tales & Poems of Edgar Allen Poe
The Simpsons and Philosophy
How to Win Friends & Influence People
Think and Grow Rich
Making Physics Easy
The Worlds Greatest Arts Encyclopedia
Attitude 101
Sex for Dummies
The Broker
Dragonlance saga
Dhampir
Thief of Lives
Sister of the Dead
The Dark Tower series
Knife of Dreams
Forgotten Realms
Why I Committed Suicide
Priest of Blood
The City of Falling Angels
